Would it be useful/possible for the .configure tool to throw an error when there is a mismatch between the OpenSSL version from it's header files and the version of the libs used by the linker? I didn't notice the mismatch until I specifically looked for conformance using "curl --version" and "ldd curl".

It would be useful, but:

A) many people cross-compile and then it couldn't do that check

B) most of these problems (finding and using another lib in run-time than the one configure detected) occur _after_ configure runs anyway, when you invoke your things with an environment outside of configure.
